Chapter 10- In which there is a War
War for Lily Evans : Day Five
Time: 1:00 pm
Location: Slughorn's Potions Class
She sat with him both at lunch and at breakfast. James was about ready to take the muck that was Sirius's potion, throw it over his smug little ballet-dancing head, and pray that it would eat away at his flesh.
However, he refrained from doing so for two very good reasons.
Number one being that Lily would be very mad at him, and probably use a brilliant-yet-painful hex to get back at him for boiling away her precious partner's head.
Second, the Quidditch match was in six days, and he couldn't allow this git to ruin anything for him.
No… this war would have to be fought with strategy, with wicked plans…this was definitely a job for…Peter Pettigrew! Aka Wormtail.
Peter, though he was useless for many things, had one amazing quality; he was an expert snoop.
With or without his rat form, he could listen in on any conversation and dig up dirt on anybody.
Even with his Invisibilty Cloak, James couldn't ever truthfully say that he was a better sneak than Peter…yes….Peter would be of great use in his schemes.
"Can anyone tell me about Amortentia?" Slughorn asked, glancing around expectantly, but only finding two people with their hands up: Snape and Lily.
"Ms. Evans?"
"Amortentia is a love potion, the most powerful at that. Its steam rises in spirals and it has a distinct mother-of-pearl sheen…"
"Good work, Ms. Evans. 15 points for Gryffindor for your answer. Amortentia…" He began, stepping aside revealing a cauldron full of the potion that Lily had just decribed, "is indeed a love potion, but, I might add, the effects are similar to obsession... Now everyone take a big whiff and tell me the distinct smell." Slughorn said.
The strong scent of apples and broom polish filled James's nose and Lily's hand shot straight into the air, once more followed by Snape.
"Ms. Evans?"
"The smell is different to each person. For me, it's new leather, and rain, but for my friend Amanda it's ginger, and strawberries."
There was another scent coming from the potion that was very familiar for Lily, but since she couldn't quite place it, she didn't mention it aloud.
"Correct again, Ms. Evans. Another 15 points. I would like you all to write a two page essay on the properties, effects, and your own personal scent of the Amortentia. Due tomorrow."
There were some groans all around, but they were cut short as class ended.
"Wormtail," James hissed, grabbing the boy by the arm and pulling him away from the crowd of students that milled out of the classroom.
"Ack! Prongs, what is it?" Peter squeaked in surprise.
"I need you to do me a favor…"
After enlisting Peter to spy on the enemy, James met with his general to review plans for Andre's destruction.
"Any ideas yet, Padfoot?" James asked, pacing the common room. Sirius pulled out several scolls and tossed them onto the table.
"Several…"
"You two are sad, you know that?" Remus said, causing them both to turn and look at him.
"You know, Moony, you could help us plot… I need a second general."
"I want no part of this…"

War for Lily Evans : Day SevenTime: 5:00 am
Location: Gryffindor Common Room.
The Phantom dream woke again, and the frustration of not being able to see this guy's face began, once again, to eat at her.
This guy caused her heart to beat like a rabbit's, and no matter how much her friends teased her, she was attracted to this guy.
She plopped down on the couch in the common room and began to read over her essay for Muggle Studies again.
"Lily…" A distant voice called. Lily looked around, but there wasn't anybody in the room with her. She turned her gaze back towards the paper and continued reading until the voice, a little louder this time, said her name.
"LILY!"
The red head glanced around again but found that she was alone.
"Up here…"
Lily looked up and saw Andre duct-taped to the ceiling.
"Oh Merlin!" She yelled, standing up on the couch. "How did you get up there?"
"I woke up like this. I've been yelling for hours..."
"Okay, just stay right there. I'll go get my wand and get you down, okay?"
"Alright…"
Lily ran upstairs to grab her wand and found it sitting on the bed side table. When she returned to the common room, Andre, of course, hadn't moved.
"Alright." Lily rolled up her sleeves and waved her wand, but nothing happened.
"Uh oh…"
"And Patil continues the double eight loop. POTTER SCORES! Gryffindor 70 Slytherin 10. This is a sad day for the green and silver, let me tell you. Potter has done excellent with the team and who is this new Chaser, Hannah Breton? Is she a find or what? The team has been needing her."
Her face was so bright a red you could see it from the stands.
"Flint has the quaffle. He passes it and it's intercepted by Potter, who is now flanked by the other two Chasers to form the Hawkshead Attacking formation. They mean business!"
Sirius and Oscar flew close towards a bludger and hit it at the same time, sending it toward the Slytherin Keeper, hitting him square in the shoulder.
"A DOPPLEBEATER DEFENCE! Weren't expecting that from Black and Mansel, were you, you slimy…"
"JORDAN!"
"Potter passes over Flint's head to Breton. She's about to throw and- THAT IS NOT LEGAL!"
A Slytherin Beater by the name of Pucey flew by Hannah and hit her square in the face with his bat. The quaffle slipped from her fingers and spun through the air. James caught it and threw it through the hoop before Madame Hooch blew the whistle.
"Foul! Gryffindor gets a shot."
James manuvered close to Hannah, who was clutching her nose, her hands were covered in blood.
"You okay, Breton?" He asked, and she nodded. "Let me see it." He said, gently pulling her hands away from her nose. As it came into view, he made a face. "Yeah…it's broken. Madame Pomfrey will fix it up, though. Do you think you can last for this shot and another minute?" Hannah nodded.
"WILDE! CATCH THE SNITCH ASAP!" James yelled, flying back to his position
She made the shot, giving Gryffindor 90, and no more than 30 seconds after, Pippa caught the snitch.
"VICTORY FOR GRYFFINDOR!"
"Party in the common room!"
"Potter, you get Andre down right now!" Lily commanded, after forcing her way through the crowd of people around the team.
"Andre? What do you mean?" He asked, almost looking genuinely confused.
Lily pointed up, and Sirius began to laugh. It had been his idea.
"I have nothing to do with it." James said with a slight smile.
The tape finally decided to let go and Andre fell from the ceiling onto the couch.
"Darn… he was supposed to fall on the floor" James muttered.
Lily glared and headed toward Andre, wondering why she could smell that unrecognizable scent from the Amortentia.

War for Lily Evans : Day Eleven.Time: 12:00 pm.
Location: Defense against the Dark arts class room.
"Andre?" Lily asked, as the boy entered the class room dressed for their dance practice. His hair had been buzzed short, and on the back of his head, cut even shorter, were the words "Gay Pride".
"Yeah I know. Horrible, isn't it? No matter what I do, the hair won't grow back. I have to go around with it this short…"
Lily growled. "Potter…."
"Peter, what are you doing?" James asked, seeing their friend huddled in a corner.
"Can't find dirt…..He's too..perfect..sneaking has failed…" He repeated over and over, rocking back and forth in a fetal position. James turned away, praying that he wouldn't end up crazy like that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
War for Lily Evans : Day Twenty-oneTime: 6:00am.
Location: Common Room.
"Guess what!" Lily said excitedly, pouncing onto the couch where Mia and Hannah sat.
"What?" They asked in unison.
"Andre and I are going to the ball together! Isn't it wonderful!"
"Ha! Remus owes me money!" Mia said, grinning.
"What?" Lily asked blinking
"Nothing…." Mia said, not wanting her friend to know about all the bets.
"Where's Amanda? I have to tell her!"
"Studying with Frank again. You can't keep those two apart anymore.It's really starting to get to Sirius." Hannah explained with a sigh.
"We will figure out who it is you like, Han." Mia said, reminding her of the challenge.
"Sure you will…Woah…"
The other two girls turned to see what Hannah was looking at, and Andre descended the stairs. His skin and hair were completely purple.
"This is not cool…" He said, while Hannah and Mia laughed.
"That's it!" Lily snapped. "Mia, Hannah…I'm calling another girl's night in two days"
"Woohoo! I can't wait till Friday!" Hannah cheered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia stood in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, covered in blood from head to toe. Figures in dark cloaks circled around her, pressing in closer and closer. Mia's throat closed and she couldn't breathe. She pounded against one of the cloaked people, and they grabbed her. She saw the gleam of a knife and screamed. "NOOOOO!"
Amelia sat up in bed. Amanda was sitting on the bed beside her. "Are you okay, Mia?" She asked worriedly.
Mia looked around and pushed her dark hair out of her eyes. "I ...I think so..."
Amanda nodded and moved back to her own bed. Something was not right. This was the third time Mia had been screaming about the forest while she slept...
'I'll figure it out later...'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I said not my best but I'm not sure what I wanted to do. The ball will be coming up in the next three chappies I think I want to speed this up so I can get to the action parts!
